some_guy, Wait, can someone please link stats? Now I want to know.
I was commenting irl, just last night, about how I continue to enjoy the thing that replaced the old site.
cosmicrookie, (edited ) How is reddit doing btw? Is there any overview of active users there?
RickyRigatoni, Why woud using reddit give them ad revenue
crystalmerchant, TIL revenue can be measured in ounces, neat-o
crystalmerchant, where are y’all hearing the mau numbers anyways?
LemmyIsFantastic,
Amilo159, Or, you can use Reddit, but with modded client that doesn’t show a single ad thus no money to spez.
I modded the client myself using ReVancedX.
meowMix2525, (edited ) But you’re still contributing content for users that see ads
criitz, Or, don’t use reddit ya scab.
Shepy, Blocked reddit on my router, to prevent accidental clickage - no intention of going back there at all
ExfilBravo, Same. I named the block settings “Fuck Spez”.
where_am_i, Reddit is like that ex the whole lemmy isn’t over yet while loudly drunkenly screaming “I’m so over them!”.
Advice: focus on yourself and your content.
kool_newt, This is exactly right, I even find myself wanting to check my GME DRS subs but knowing I shouldn’t and feeling bad about it and blocking it for myself until the next week when I unblock and check my subs again in shame. But I’ll never return for real because I know she’s bad for me, wait we’re still talking about Reddit right?
TrickDacy, Nah, fuck spez forever. That sentiment should never die. I hope a decade after reddit goes bankrupt, he can’t leave his home without getting the phrase screamed at him
BackOnMyBS, We can decide to never go back to our ex and also warn others if it comes up, while still moving on with our lives. However, if we’re just bringing it up out of nowhere, we’re still hung up on them.
MySkinIsFallingOff, This isn’t a good analogy at all.
If it should be forcibly used, like, reddit is an ex, then fuck no we’re not over that ex. They took our home that we built and destroyed it.
shatterling, Also: focus on yourself and you’re content 👍
NegativeLookBehind, Also: focus on yourself and you’re incontinent
Seventhlevin, Also: focus on your shelf in another continent
1847953620, Also: it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople, man.
hungryphrog, Oh, it changed?
ohlaph, (edited ) Also: get an oil change, it’s due soon.
Grayox, Bruh you’ve only ever posted once, you should focus on trying to make content and posting it on lemmy, instead of criticizing those of us who are.
OneMansTrash, I mean, would you call this post ‘content’? It’s just low-effort, non-discussion-provoking, nothingness about a platform that nobody around here cares about anymore (except you apparently?)
Grayox, Says the user with zero posts. And all the people upvoting it apparently do. Bahahaha
rigatti, What can we do to get you to go back to Reddit?
Grayox, Not a damn thing. Zero posts not surprised. Reddit definitely doesnt miss you.
OneMansTrash, deleted_by_moderator
Grayox, Dont worry, I’ll keep posting content for you to engage with.
ShitOnABrick, (edited ) Most of the stuff you post is low quality shite mate not “content” it’s mainly 99% vague political memes. this shite makes up 90% of lemmy
Grayox, (edited ) You literally repost AI generated images, you dont even possess the originality to come up with your own prompt Lmao and you’ve never even made a post with over 1k upvotes. Git gud
TunaCowboy, cringe af
Grayox, Dont care, dude implied nonone cares about my posts, thousands of upvotes beg to differ. Cringe or notz i post shit people engage with.
Exusia, me unloading every meme I’ve ever stolen because it drives engagement
Grayox, o7
zepheriths, Yep. The font of knowledge is useless because half of it is speculation
RuikkaaPrus, Plus Reddit Ads Personalization are’nt avoidable anymore
Boozilla, I still love Lemmy. It’s nice to be able to post or comment without getting an automated response telling you you’re doing 15 things wrongs for trying to participate like happens on schmeddit.
TangledHyphae, Was there some stat released somewhere showing lemmy “losing users”? I’m pretty new and plan on sticking around, the quality here is infinitely better than reddit.
ohlaph, I feel the communities that I’m part of here have decent engagement. Even if it’s losing users, I feel it’s still high quality.
magnetosphere, Yeah. I’m more concerned with quality than raw numbers.
Rice_Daddy, Has reddit reversed their API charge?
embed_me, No
hungryphrog, It’s okay, you can swear on the internet.
Rooskie91, Honestly, good. The Internet was better when people were spread out across many small message board and chat rooms. The golden age of the Internet was when you’d do a search for something and 500 different forms and little websites would pop up.
Now’s it’s all reddit, “X,” and shitty corporate owned nonsense. We turned 2020 Internet into 90’s cable TV.
noobdoomguy8658, Gonna add a comment to my upvote: I agree with this so fucking much. I look back at the joyous days when I had… fuck if I know how many websites, each dedicated to its own thing, most with its own userbase, so unique and so defined. The only good thing about Reddit for me was gaming communities that, unfortunately, replaced actual forums that once allowed me to engage with passionate people and look for relevant info, even if it’s been years since its creation.
It’s probably just me being unaware, but gaming communities these days feel dead outside their respective subreddits and some Discord servers - and the latter is an even worse experience because the form factor of an endless IRC-clone that actually seems to save chat history is pretty fucking dumb more than it is convenient. If anyone has any suggestions there, shoot.
